    Gay marriage in Australia

    I thought this thread would have got a bump since there is a postal survey scheduled for Australian registered voters http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/home/AMLPS+-+Process

    Should religious clothing be discouraged in public?

    Being discreetly Jewish in Marseille No photographs of the Gan Ami Jewish school in the sixth district of Marseille will accompany this article. That is because if you appear at the school with a camera, you will be courteously but firmly asked to put it away. A crocodile of youngsters on an...

    Return of Kings: Supporters of website touting 'legalising rape' to meet across Australia

    Supporters of a website led by a man who says rape should be legalised on private property are set to meet up in cities around Australia, sparking a backlash on social media. According to the Return of Kings (ROK) website, the US-based group believes "a woman's value significantly depends on...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    The problem is that it is a nicer place to be ANYWAY even if nobody is killing anybody. This is the problem with offering permanent citizenship in the best societies on earth as the primary form of refuge. It becomes impossible to tell an economic migrant from a refugee. We need to offer less...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    It has nothing to do with the gender balance of the native population in the host country. The gender imbalance I am referring to is only in the migrant population. Refugee males will not harass the native females so much if they bring their own women with them as they tend to stick to their own...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    I am putting forward a proposition for a general aproach for a policy for accepting refugees from ME countries into western countries. Not every point will apply to every host country. But the general argument is that a gender balance is the very least that should be sought. Stopping all males...

    Should religiously segregated schools be banned?

    Your argument is circular and entirely devoid of logic. If the schools were not segregated in the first place then the movement from one school to another would be no more traumatic than if schools were segregated. In fact it makes moving schools more difficult since you have to find a spot at...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    Yes, I may have made one particular point that was relevant to the current problem but most of my arguments are general arguments that apply to the general problem of how to apply policy to general invitations to refugees. But part of the argument is about the current situation anyway with...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    Why does Sweden have more boys than girls? There is something odd going on with the ratio between boys and girls in Sweden. The latest estimates suggest there are 123 boys for every 100 girls among 16 and 17-year-olds. That's an even greater imbalance than in the same age group in China...

    Should refugees be women and children only?

    I think you are getting a bit bogged down in the details. What I am proposing is a general approach on which to base offers of refugee status from war when the refugees come from the middle east and the host countries are culturally more sophisticated western democracies. That is a point that...

    Should religiously segregated schools be banned?

    Segregation is the appropriate word here. Separation is a vague and broad term which can apply to any situation when 2 things are not together. Segregation specifically refers to separation of populations of humans according to some perceived differentiating feature of those groups. Segregation...

    Should religiously segregated schools be banned?

    The argumentation by analogy coming out of you fellas is the most scatter-brained stuff I have ever heard. First Bip was comparing religion to sport now you are comparing children to frozen vegetables! The evidence is all around you in the problems that religious segregation in general causes...

    Should religiously segregated schools be banned?

    Hey ButtHurtinBuckaroo, The 'plain as the nose on your face' argument has been laid on the table in all its simplicity. The evidence that segregation leads to mistrust is obvious to anybody who underwent a religiously segregated education. I went to a catholic school. Everybody viewed...

    Should religiously segregated schools be banned?

    Keeping children separated by religion is segregation. Religious segregation of schoolchildren is wrong for the most painfully obvious reasons. It leads to fear and distrust between those populations. It damages our society by having religious groups of children growing up thinking they are...
